The Castlegar and District Hospital Foundation acknowledges the Community for donating to our Tim Hortons Smile Cookie fundraiser and Shopper's Drug Mart Tree of Life fund raising event. We were able to purchase the gynaecological stretcher which has arrived and is in use at the Castlegar Health Centre Emergency Department

Your generous donations have helped us purchase the Heart Monitor and the Trauma Stretcher for the Emergency Department, Medicine Cart for Talarico Place and just recently the Child's Oximeter and Blood Gas Analyzer for the Lab. These much needed items are all in use at the Castlegar Health Centre. Thank you to all who supported the Foundation’s efforts.

Thank you to the Castlegar and District Hospital Auxiliary for donating $3000.00.

These donations enabled the Foundation to purchase a "sleeper chair". The chair does make into a bed and family members may rest with their loved ones.

Thank you to Colleen and Brian Allarie from The Brick. Because of their support we were able to purchase a love seat, four sitting chairs, a cabinet and many other items that made these two rooms "homey". An LCD TV was graciously donated for the family room.

Thanks to Oglow’s Paint & Wallcoverings Ltd. for their support in helping us with the paint, window coverings and the installation.

Thank you to the Castlegar and District Hospice Society for donating 2 fridges, 1 for each room.

IHA unveils pallative rooms

The Interior Health Authority opened its two renovated palliative rooms at Talarico place last week.

The rooms were renovated by the Castlegar and District Hospital Foundation through the Light-up the Hospital Campaign and help from The Brick and Oglow’s.

The foundation raised more than $8,000 to upgrade and make the two palliative rooms more "homey."

"The foundation did a great job in raising funds and bringing awareness," said Spencer Buckland, IHA health service administrator for Castlegar. He added the work on the rooms could not have been done without the in-kind donations of The Brick, which donated decorations for the room as well as a plasma flat-screen television set for one of the rooms, and Oglow’s, who supported the project by providing paint products and new blinds for the two renovated rooms.

"We’re very grateful for their (the businesses) support and we’re very grateful for the support we received from the community," Buckland said.

The renovated rooms are outfitted with a love seat for family members, a portable phone set and a DVD player.

Linda Williams, residential care leader at Talarico Place, said the rooms will be used by people from the community to make their last days more comfortable.

IHA would like to thank the Castlegar and District Hospital Foundation. The Brick and Oglow’s.
